When my daughter was a baby, a friend looked around my house and sniggered: "this place looks like my sister's house, what do your kids do all day?"
Don't worry, karma got him in the end - he's now the proud papa of two under two.
For those whose friends and families don't understand what their babies do all day to leave the house (and their parents) in such disarray, Glamour relationships columnist Joanna Goddard (author of Smitten) saves the day with a video at her personal blog, Cup of Jo. Her son Charles proves kids do plenty more than eating, sleeping and pooping.
Maybe it's the French music (?), but this is eminently more watchable than any "oh, look at my cute baby" video I've ever seen. Nine-month-old Charles Edward rolls, crawls, climbs, picks up toys and quickly abandons them. The sped up four-hour stint makes the little boy a little insect-like (and I mean that in the most endearing way Joanna!) - which proves kids really do have the attention span of a gnat at this age!
